CHAPTER SEVEN:
"We'll leave after breakfast." Eleanor says handing me a plate full of bacon, toast, and even a ham and cheese omelet.
Damn. Louis really did slave over the stove, this is amazing.
"Thanks for breakfast." I thank him as he comes in the dining room.
As everyone finishes eating, we get ready to leave. Eleanor lets me borrow a pair of skinny jeans and a white pair of tomes... I borrowed Harry's purple Jacks Wills hoodie. I throw my hair back in a slick pony tail and borrow some of El's mascara.

"What do you think of this?" She holds up a cute crop top that looks perfect with the shorts she's wearing.
"I think you should totally get it." I reply with a smile, slightly jealous that she saw it before me.
I look down and see way too many items that I do not need... cute skirts, adorable tanks, even a few dresses I couldn't help but pick up... Forever 21 is my weakness. My arms are about to explode from holding everything, that I have to just check out. I don't need to keep looking anyways, I'll buy out the whole store.
As I walk up to the register, Eleanor runs towards me. "Wait a sec." she stops me and starts digging through her purse.
"Harry wanted me to give this to you for you to use today." She hands me a credit card with his name on it.
"I can't." I push it away.
"Use it. You're going to hurt his feelings, he really wanted to do this for you." She forces it into my hand, "Please, for his sake, just use it."
He's such a sweetheart, only Harry. Even though I don't know if I could actually use it, it's the thought... I'm definitely lucky to have him in my life. I look down at it and feel weird using it however.
"If it makes you feel better, I got Louis'." She laughs and I join her... somehow that did make me feel better.
After shopping, we stopped at a local café in the mall. I ordered a salad, with my own money, I would feel too weird and uncomfortable using his card for everything.
We get our food and sit down at a table that's beside the window.
We take a few bites before I ask for her advice. "So um, Harry kind of asked me to move in..." I don't know exactly where I'm going with this, but I lay it all out up front.
She smiles gently, something about her smile is so beautiful, "What did you say?"
"I told him that I'd think about it. I mean, I basically live by myself, so I don't have anything to loose." I take a bite of my salad, not sure of what else to say.
She looks up at me with a sad face, "You live by yourself?"
"Yeah, I mean, technically no... it's complicated." I sigh and see that she's waiting for me to continue.
"After the whole Harry thing, I moved out. Anne technically still had custody, but there was no way I could live with her, so Liam's mom let me live in her house. I lived with Liam and his family and got a job. I saved up for dear life and moved out the day I turned 18, which was not too long ago... literally like a month ago. I didn't want to live on my own, so I got a room mate. She's never there, so I mean, really she's not a room mate." I look up at her and then look away, "I don't know, it's just a weird situation."
"Live with us. It'd be fun." She replies, reaching out to hold my hand. "Please. I think it'd benefit us all. I won't be the only girl in the house, you won't be living alone, you'll be with Harry, and I'm sure Liam will have a piece mind knowing where you are and knowing you're safe. I know it might be really fast and probably weird because you don't really know all the boys that well... but I promise you, we're all a big family. You'll fit right in." She smiles at me, assuring my thoughts.
